Tbla la bread day at the pure food ahow In the Auditorium. When Manager Glllan arrived on the scene this morning It looked aa though there had been a landslide from the aide of a mountain of bread somewhere. The bread had tumbled Into tho big build ing In a volume that was almost over whelming. Carpenters were hurrldly se cured and bins, shelves 'and tables were constructed to contain the loaves. It was a sight to make any man proud of the housewives of Omaha. Most of the loaves came from Omaha. South Omaha and Council Bluffs kitchens, though about half a dosen were sent In by express from different towns through the state. There were loaves of all shapes, from the round loaf shaped like a aectlon of water main to the tall, stately loaf which rose abova Its fellows like a' tower. Some were shaped with a flat bottom and gracefully arched top. 'Others were square. Some had a plain unpretentious top while others had been wrought Into most wonderfullly fan tastic shapes and designs. Some were spilt open on one side; some had evidently over flowed the top of the pan In a mighty effort to win the prixe or perish In the at tempt. They ranged In size from little modest loaves which seemed to say:, "We rely on our Intrinsic merit. ' Good things come In amal packages. Tou big slobs think you are going to get the prixe just because of your overgrown size." Others were of Immense proportions weighing five or clx pounds. Three Womei aa' Judges. Mrs. Harriet 8. MacMurphy, Mrs. Mary A. Pugh and Mies' Florence Heller were the official judges. There are two prizes of (50 esch and one of $2 offered by' the Allen Bros, company and the Updike Mill ing company. "The brownest, sweetest, lightest, nutti est and best baked takes the prize," ' said Mrs. Pugh, who is an expert In the bread baking art. "I do not uso the word 'nutti est' In a slang sense, either. Flour of the proper quality made from the proper kind of wheat has a slightly nutty taste." Th judges begun their work early. There wero more than 1.000 loavea. The work of selecting three from this great num ber was not aruall. They separated them first roughly, the sheep from the goats, as it were. The lightness of the loaf could be determined by feeling and lifting. The evenness of baking could o deter mined by sight. Only about 100 loaves survived this examination. Then the knivea were brought and the work of tast ing" the other loaves began. The judges had saved their appetites for this test of seeing which - loaf combined In the best (manner, the remaining cardinal virtues of nuttiest, sweetness and best-bakedness. The bread will be distributed to the various charitable Institutions, the Sal vation Army,' Volunteers, Child Saving In stitute, . Creche. City Mission, Visiting Nurses and others.

"There Is going to be a universal war, a war to the bitter death, a war in which every people will be engnged from the tropics to the edge of the frigid zone, a war In which there will be no quarter given, a war In which no International rules will be observed, a war In which poison will be used as well as bullets and swords." Thus poke J. 8. Parker of Syracuse, N. T., at the Pavton hotel. And having mado this dire prediction, 'the prophet of horror panned and looked around at his audience. "How about Tho Hague, peace confer ence?" ventured someone. Mr. Parker smiled scornfully, hopelessly. "The Hague peace conference will change Its point of view," he said. "I venture to predict that the conference will even ap prove of the war. Andrew Carnegie will bo among the most ardent supporters of the universal massacre. I can even Imag ine him diverting his flood of gold from the libraries and offering prizes to the per son whd shall make the greatest slaughter or giving a bounty for bloody heads brought Into the camp." , "This man speaks treason against our mighty and well beloved laird of Sklbo," ejaculated one of the bystanders. "To any nothing of lesc majeste," added a man who was proud of his small stock of French. ... Thla la No Fake War. Mr. Parker smiled , once more . and glanced about from one to the other of his auditors,- who looked at him In turn with varying emotion. One man even ventured to Inquire anxiously hpw he had "managed to evade Ills keeper." , "I mean Just what I say," continued the man" from Syracuse. "This war Is coming and It is coming soon. The slaughter will be such as to put the death roll of the civil war or of the Franco-Prussian con flict in the Infant class. Millions will be slaughtered every month." "O, that's all nonsense," said one of the auditors. ( "Why, that would depopulate the world. In a few years," said another. "No sane man would venture such an as sertion, said a third with a meaning ac cent on "sane." Mr. Parker smiled for the third time. "Now, my friends, , I will explain," lie said. "This war is going to occur. It is going to be a universal war and the slaugh ter is going to be great, as I have said. But it is going to be a war, not between human beings but against rats, 'Death to the rodents!' Is to be the battle cry." They are to be slaughtered everywhere, all the time, by every means. A concerted effort of this kind will clear the world of the rat family in a few years. slaughter la Copenhagen. "This movement has already been started. A friend who visited me recently from Co penhagen told me of; tho experimental 'maneuvers' in a rat killing war which had been tried there. In eighteen weeks they killed 103,000 rats in that city of half a million people. The cost of the war was about $3,600 or about three cents per head. If you will figure up the amount of prop erty each rat destroys every month of the year I think you will And It la considerably In excess of that figure. Why, It means millions of dollars saved by this world every yea-- if we exterminate the rodent family. . ' "The movement was started by Zuschlag. a deep student of economic problems and there is a society organised with the i avowed purpose of inaugurating and prose cuting this' war. It Is 'L'Assoclatlon Inter nationale pour la Destruction Ratlonelle des Rats.' The war will spread to all the other countries of the world and the result will be grand." "What do they do with the bodies," asked someone. "They are cremated," aald Mr. Parker. "Well. I have an idea that will make the war self supporting," continued the anxious innnlree. ! "What is your suggestion?" asked Mr. Parker. ' "Well, why not dry the bodies of the rata and ship them, to China.

A woman at the other end of the 'wire said In ex cited tones that three burglars had Just gained entrance to her neighbor's house at 2827 Cass street. Three extra officers were put into the patrol wagon and the horses lashed all the way at break-nock speed. Arriving at the number the officers, headed by Patrol Conductor Andy Fahay, ran to the back end of the house. There they found the cellar door open. I'ahay started to lead the way down, but It sud denly dawned on him that In his haste he had left his six-shooter at the station and was not armed except for u pair of hand ruffs he carried. It was suggested that he throw the handcuffs down In the cellar and call to the burglar to put them on and sur render, but the suggestion was not well taken and seemed to arouse all of the offl- tlalest Iklsa Ska roMafe contains no turpentine or acids, gives a aatla finish, will not rub off on ibe clothing No Other Food Product has a like Record Baker's Cocoa 1 07 Years of Constantly JLaCf Increasing Sales f21 48 (ftJ-J Awards Europe Uliu and I Ji America mm JUgltteret 17. g.lai.

Wr's bravery, and. down he went with only the handcuffs with which to make, perhaps, tho fight of his life. The other officers fol lower and a reporter stood outside to see that no otherburglars got In while the offi cers were busy down In the cellar. From the cellar the officers went to the kitchen, then upstairs, then returned to the kitchen, where they stopped and were holding a conference when suddenly and Without a moment's warning, the back door opened. Driver Murphy grabbed for his gun and Conductor Fahay, In the excite ment of the moment, dropped his handcuffs nd demanded of a feminine form that stood in the doorway, "Who are you?" Only tho Lady of the Hoaeo. "Please don't shoot." ' came the faint response, "I'm only Mrs. Mather. I live here and have Just been over to the neigh bor's to get a quart of milk. Mercy, good ness, what's It all about?" With these words she let the quart of milk fall to the floor and she herself sank half fainting Into a chair. By this time the yard was full of curious neighbors and one of them, a woman, was kind enough to step Into the kitchen and straighten out the tangle- to the sstlsfactlon of alt con cerned. She had seen two men prowling around her house next door and their actions looked suspicious to her. Finally they went over to the neighbor's. s.nd as she saw that neighbor In question, go for the milk, and as the men completely disappeared from her view shortly after, she thought they must have got Into the house and tele phoned the police to that effect. She said Ht the nreaent moment the men were standing out in the front yard. When questioned the two men showed a card containing the address of that house and It developed the woman's husband had sent them there to look at the house with a view to renting It. There being no number on the house they were in doubt and admitted they did stand outside and look at several houses. Mrs. Mather said she had been expecting them, aa her hus band had telephoned ber they were coming. The crowd dispersed, the patrol wagon returned to the station, the men went In and looked at the house and the good woman who had telephoned the police went home and resumed her housework In a spirit of meekness.
